2

Watching the person in the mirror's countenance pale and grow haggard,

3

Examining love together with regret, both new and old.

4

Keeping watch still by a lantern though it is daybreak, drenched with tears,

5

Watching others meet as promised, as twilight falls.

Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 53

7

I'm just an incompetent person.

8

I can't even preserve my own child.

9

Who can I trick then?

10

You tricked Noble Consort Chun.

11

You planted yourself by her side,

12

to be my foe on purpose.

13

Just when she was most gleeful,

14

you struck against her and make her collapse completely.

15

You knew...that the Fifth Prince was innately more talented above others,

16

and cherished by His Majesty all along.

17

Noble Consort Chun, who uses such cunning hands,

18

using the Fifth Prince to get rid of me.

19

His Majesty would surely be infuriated upon finding out.

20

Consort Yu, then you . . .

21

Why didn't you say so sooner? His Majesty almost had you killed.

22

If I told His Majesty,

23

since Noble Consort Chun and I had gotten along well before,

24

it would seen as though I fit her fancy to gather evidence of her crime,

25

and His Majesty would surely deem it,

26

as you and I colluding together to destroy Noble Consort Chun.

27

Hence, this had to be the only way.

28

Consort Yu.

29

You are truly too foolish.

30

Yingluo. I have always been a frail woman.

31

Before, I watched with my own eyes as my best friend

32

was dying before me,

33

but I could not avenge her.

34

If it hadn't been for you and the late Empress extending your helping hand out to me, time after time,

35

even Yongqi's life, I wouldn't have been able to preserve it.

36

Though I am weak,

37

I understand,

38

that a drop of water given to me in need,

39

should be repaid by a fountain.

40

Even if I am given a favor, that favor is impassable until death.

41

I am not smart enough.

42

This is the only method I could come up with.

43

In order to gain Noble Consort Chun's trust,

44

I had to hurt you.

45

I hope you don't blame me.

46

You are not weak at all.

47

You are the most courageous woman I've ever seen.

48

Yingluo.

49

Today is farewell.

50

I shall never be allowed to return to the Forbidden City in this life.

51

There's a person.

52

I want to entrust him to you.

53

You needn't tell me.

54

I understand.

55

Consort Yu.

56

May you have empathy

57

for the heart of a woman, and accept this bow from me.

58

It's getting late. We need to go.

59

Take care.

60

Why are you crying again?

61

The wind got into my eyes.

62

Greetings to Your Majesty.

63

You're making a kite again?

64

Yes. I'm making a kite.

65

Don't make any more.

66

Your hand was injured before.

67

Bamboo strips can injure you easily.

68

You are not to make them ever again.

69

Then I will have others make them for me.

70

I said, no more.

71

- Why?

- There's no "why".

72

I taught you to play the zither before, but you said the zither wasn't good enough.

73

So I commanded for the search of "Sound of Moon Dew" that I used to learn to play.

74

From now on, you can use that. Alright?

75

Move these things away.

76

You're not allowed to take them.

77

Yingluo, if we don't take them away, how can I teach you to play the zither?

78

Your Majesty, I don't wish to learn the zither.

79

Today, I just want to make kites.

80

Your Highness Consort Ling, this zither

81

was retrieved especially from Yuanming Garden by His Majesty.

82

Others don't even get to touch it if they want to.

83

Sending His Majesty away with honor.

84

His Majesty came here so giddy. What is this you're doing, Your Highness?

85

Yingluo, you knew clearly the cause of Noble Consort Chun's death.

86

You should try to avoid arousing suspicion, so why are you still making kites?

87

So if I don't make kites, others won't suspect me?

88

You are trying to do the opposite?

89

You scared me so much. I thought you were ignoring His Majesty

90

and talking back to him on purpose.

91

"Sound of Moon Dew" is a great zither.

92

Take it inside. Such a precious thing,

93

careful that you don't break it.

94

What in the world are you trying to do?

95

Didn't Mingyu already say it?

96

Acting the opposite way.

97

You know clearly Noble Consort Chun died by kite wire.

98

His Majesty would surely be upset seeing this kite.

99

You're making him angry on purpose.

100

You're pushing him out on purpose here.

101

Yes. It is hard to gain the royal favor.

102

Why should I distance myself from it on purpose?

103

Get rid of it.

104

Yes.

105

Your Majesty. Consort Ling, though her temperament is stubborn,

106

she doesn't seem like someone so cruel.

107

I said too much.

108

She doesn't care at all.

109

Not even half an explanation!

110

She is so certain that I will indulge her.

111

Your Majesty, Consort Ling, once she realizes,

112

I'm sure she'll come to apologize for her misgiving.

113

If she comes here, don't allow her in!

114

His Majesty came out of Yanxi Palace looking pale.

115

The palace maids and the eunuchs all saw it.

116

In this entire palace, only that Wei Yingluo dares to put on airs to His Majesty.

117

One day,

118

once His Majesty's patience is ground to naught,

119

we'll see how much longer she can stay satisfied.

120

However, this is a great opportunity.

121

Sister Nalan, what do you want to do now?

122

She pushed His Majesty out herself.

123

So don't blame others for seizing the chance.

124

Your Majesty, should I go knock on the door?

125

Great! She's closing the door in my face on purpose!

126

Your Majesty! Such ingrates! Hurry and follow!

127

Your Majesty.

128

Your Highness, will this flower really bloom tonight?

129

I think it should be around today, after calculating.

130

I'm not sure if I can wait for it tonight.

131

If we can't wait for it, let's not wait anymore.

132

For a flower, to wait so long is unworthy.

133

If we get the chills, we'll be sick too.

134

A clear tune of high tones isn't so easily played.

135

Elegant pipe vine does not bloom easily.

136

Since it's not easily bloomed, it's worth the wait.

137

That must be Master Sui Yuan's poem. (T/N Yuan Mei, one of two major poets of the Qing Dynasty with Ji Yun)

138

Respectfully greeting Your Majesty.

139

Rise.

140

You are still in the Imperial Garden at this hour, all for this pipe vine?

141

Yes. Master Sui Yuan traveled the world and his poetry is legendary.

142

I've heard of his poem, but I've never seen a real pipe vine.

143

I can't help but yearn for it.

144

Now Yunnan has sent in one as tribute,

145

so I wanted to come take a look while the flower is in season.

146

I never imagined I would startle the royal entourage.

147

You didn't startle me. It was I who disturbed you.

148

It's blooming. It's blooming!

149

Your Majesty! Your Majesty, look! The flower's bloomed!

150

You really like it so much?

151

Yes, I love it.

152

Your Majesty, smell it. There seems to be a sandalwood fragrance too.

153

In the Lotus Sutra, Buddhist beads after cremation done by Buddhist teaching,

154

are as excellent as a basin of pipe vine, appearing in time.

155

Today got to see this pipevine flourish, all thanks to Your Majesty's auspicious energy.

156

I borrowed your luck instead.

157

- Li Yu.

- Your servant is present.

158

This beautiful scenery of flowers calls for harmony of music.

159

Go to Yanxi Palace and retrieve "Sound of Moon Dew".

160

I will admire the moon with Imperial Concubine Shu.

161

Your Majesty, Yanxi Palace's mistress is already resting.

162

Then break down the door!

163

Yes.

164

Who is it?

165

I will go see it immediately, Mistress.

166

Who is it? Who is it?

167

Retrieval of the zither by His Majesty's order. Open the door!

168

Supervisor Li, what brings you here?

169

I've been commanded to retrieve the zither.

170

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

171

Did you get the zither back?

172

Yes. I got it back.

173

Now, I am waiting for her to come.

174

Desheng said that Concubine Shu wrote a new tune,

175

asking His Majesty to hear it.

176

His Majesty flipped her tag

177

and retrieved the zither he gifted to you on purpose

178

to make it obvious that he's gifting it to her.

179

How are you not flushed at all?

180

That's it. I will retouch your attire,

181

so you can hurry and go to Yangxin Hall

182

to coax His Majesty back.

183

- I'm not going.

- Yingluo!

184

I'm sleepy.

185

I need to rest.

186

Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shu is still waiting.

187

Your Majesty.

188

It's already the third watch. You're not resting at Yanxin Hall. (T/N 23:00-01:00)

189

What are you doing here?

190

I got a new tune,

191

so I came to invite you to share it.

192

Your Majesty is so good at joking.

193

It's the middle of the night. What tune?

194

Does Your Majesty have something to scold me for?

195

You know that you did something wrong?

196

Isn't Your Majesty suspecting that I killed Noble Consort Chun?

197

You won't even let me make kites anymore.

198

I am currently closing my doors to self-reflect.

199

I know you didn't kill her.

200

But everyone in the palace says so.

201

By your usual temperament,

202

you are someone who disdains attacking a failing enemy.

203

Even more so, Noble Consort Chun

204

was already banished to the Cold Palace, with nothing to her name.

205

You would make her live a few years longer, so she can be tormented a few years longer.

206

Your Majesty, you are complimenting me,

207

or are you scorning me?

208

Wei Yingluo, to me, you are that petty-minded.

209

You knew clearly I didn't do it but why did you still get angry?

210

Because you didn't explain.

211

I didn't explain and that's a mistake?

212

Not explaining...means you don't care how I view you.

213

I am very upset by that.

214

Today I kept thinking...

215

I can't pamper you like this. It's too unhealthy,

216

but I still came.

217

Wei Yingluo.

218

I don't know how many times I've broken the rules for you,

219

how many times I've taken back my words.

220

That is not a good sign.

221

It's very bad.

222

I...don't like exceptions.

223

I don't like unconventional.

224

Hence you must be good,

225

don't always upset me.

226

Or else one day, I might really be so upset

227

that I will really remove your head!

228

Your Majesty.

229

You do that,

230

and tomorrow Imperial Concubine Shu will hate me even more.

231

Why?

232

Imperial Concubine Shu is always complaining,

233

that Your Majesty summons her for bed service,

234

but eight out of every ten times, I will intercept you.

235

If this happens again today, she'd eat my heart and then some.

236

I almost forgot about her.

237

Li Yu.

238

Your Majesty.

239

Go and tell Imperial Concubine Shu I can't view the moon with her.

240

You escort her back yourself,

241

and also...gift that pipe vine flower to her.

242

Yes.

243

Your Majesty.

244

Then this Sound of Moon Dew.

245

You're not gifting this?

246

Your Majesty.

247

The Silkworm Ceremony?

248

The Empress offering sacrifice to Goddess of Silkworms to encourage silkworms is an old tradition.

249

The Interior Bureau has already installed at Mount Tai Palace Hall the tools needed for mulberry picking.

250

We're just waiting for Empress Dowager's instructions to carry out the ceremony.

251

This year, Eastern Zhejiang has a major drought.

252

Shandong had a locust calamity.

253

Why don't we just bypass the Silkworm Ceremony?

254

Empress Dowager, it's precisely due to calamities everywhere and people suffering instability

255

that I want to mobilize personally

256

to pick mulberry and grow the silkworms, in order to encourage the people to silkworm farming and

257

to pray for next year's good wind and rain.

258

That's how we've done it in past years as well.

259

When Empress Rongyin was here,

260

every year, the Silkworm Ceremony was carried out with great fanfare.

261

Since you as Empress took to the throne,

262

we've never carried it out again.

263

You think it's compromising to you, and I know that.

264

But this year, we've had that big drought.

265

The Silkworm Ceremony...

266

is expensive and requires mustering of a large force.

267

It's truly not a beauty.

268

If you have the heart, we'll do it next year.

269

Empress Dowager, the altar to the Goddess of Silkworms is all prepared already.

270

The duchesses, the madams and all the ladies are all notified.

271

To cancel suddenly would court wild talk.

272

I dare to beg Empress Dowager,

273

that we must carry on this year's Silkworm Ceremony as usual.

274

You came to ask my thoughts.

275

But you already instructed the Interior Bureau to make all the arrangements in advance.

276

Then why idea are you seeking from me? Empress!

277

You have usurped authority...excessively!

278

Empress Dowager, I prepared according to old convention.

279

I am not as thorough as you.

280

If you're not fond of it,

281

I will cancel it immediately.

282

May Empress Dowager's anger dissipate.

283

I am tired.

284

You kneel to be dismissed.

285

Empress Dowager.

286

Your Highness the Empress.

287

Your Highness, I found out through Miss Zhen'er

288

that Empress wanted to carry out the Silkworm Ceremony but Empress Dowager shut her down,

289

and scolded her instead, saying she's usurped authority excessively.

290

You didn't hear wrong? She truly said that?

291

Yes. That is a huge accusation, and I didn't dare to believe it,

292

but seeing so many palace maids and eunuchs that all heard this...

293

Not just saying it...but saying it in attendance of the crowd.

294

The Silkworm Ceremony is an old tradition.

295

Why is it that the late Empress can do it but new Empress can't?

296

That's just using an excuse to dismiss her.

297

Prince, back during installation of the new Empress, the Empress Dowager was in accordance.

298

How is it that in a blink of an eye, she's changed her mind?

299

Certainly, the new zither falls short in the end.

300

Yearning for the old lost sword.

301

His Majesty grieves for the late Empress.

302

Leaving his yearning for her everywhere.

303

Now Empress Dowager over the matter of Naerbu,

304

holds anger against the Empress.

305

That pair of mother and son, truly so oppressive.

306

Prince, you can't say that.

307

Why? They can act it out but we can't say it?

308

Have someone report to His Majesty

309

that I have seen suitably to Lord Naerbu's funeral.

310

As for Silkworm Ceremony,

311

have her be appeased.

312

I will send report to His Majesty personally to have everything installed per convention so she will not be embarrassed.

313

Prince, Empress Dowager has already said so, so it's not proper.

314

It's just an old tradition. We're just asking to continue.

315

Furthermore, this regards the Empress' prestige.

316

The invitations are out and to cancel now,

317

how will the Empress govern?

318

This year's Silkworm Ceremony must be carried out.

319

Yes.

320

Empress, for the day of the Silkworm Ceremony, all the tools needed by all the duchesses, madams,

321

and noble ladies for mulberry picking and silkworm raising are prepared. May Your Highness the Empress look it over.

322

This is?

323

It's a silver hook and melon-berry bark basket.

324

Wu Shulai, Her Highness the Empress uses a gold hook.

325

Noble Consorts use silver hooks, and other concubines use bronze hooks.

326

Consort Ling is just a consort in rank. How is she using silver?

327

You want to die?

328

May Empress forgive me. This is by Empress Dowager's order.

329

Interior Bureau reported it to His Majesty, and His Majesty also approved.

330

Since Empress Dowager and His Majesty has cast their instruction, carry it out by it.

331

Yes.

332

Empress.

333

Empress!

334

Consort Ling's ranking isn't enough for a silver hook.

335

Empress Dowager and His Majesty's action. What does it mean?

336

Naturally they want to lift Consort Ling so she can progress more.

337

Though she's captured glory, she has no heir.

338

Such promotion. She can't handle it!

339

I also have no heir, but I have obtained the Empress' seat.

340

Empress, you are someone that goes back to the old Prince Bao Manor.

341

Your attachment with His Majesty is deep.

342

You're fair and prudent, and well-respected by the six palaces.

343

As for her? She's just a servant born to a bondservant.

344

How can she dare to be compared to you?

345

His Majesty pampers her and wants to give her this honor.

346

What can you do?

347

I know I can't do anything.

348

But if Your Highness indulges her too, it will just make her grow more greedy.

349

One day, fully-fledged, she will be

350

the second Noble Consort Gao!

351

Concubine Shu, may you speak more prudence.

352

Have you prepared for all the duchesses and the noble ladies?

353

Reporting to the Empress, everything's prepared.

354

By ceremony procession, nothing will go awry.

355

Your Highness.

356

Your Highness, you must not listen to Concubine Shu's words of rift.

357

She's been stood up by His Majesty several times in succession all due to Consort Ling.

358

Hence, she's urging you to vent for her on purpose.

359

Whatever Concubine Shu's goal is, I am very aware.

360

This is all Empress Dowager's blame.

361

His Majesty indulges that one in Yanxi Palace is one thing, but even Empress Dowager?

362

Empress Dowager has been angry at me over my father's case.

363

And I've borrowed Prince He's hand,

364

to carry out this Silkworm Ceremony with all the bells and whistles, and Empress Dowager is even more upset.

365

This is why she lifted Consort Ling up on purpose to trouble me.

366

Your Highness. Empress Dowager's ranked so high.

367

His Majesty is also very filial.

368

Why do you insist on carrying out this Silkworm Ceremony?

369

Other than my father's incident,

370

Hoifa Nara clan is in crisis.

371

I intend to carry out the Silkworm Ceremony with full fanfare,

372

for inside and outside of the wild court to see

373

this Great Qing Empress is carrying on.

374

Only by doing so will I not be taken lightly by others.

375

It's clear about the Silkworm Ceremony.

376

But I worry Empress Dowager would trouble you in the future.

377

I am only enduring it for the time being.

378

One day I will have my way to vent.

379

[ Yanxi Palace ]

380

Stop there.

381

Your instructions?

382

What is your name? Are you rushing to flatter again?

383

Did you retrieve what I told you to get at the Interior Bureau?

384

Look at how you speak. Whatever our mistress wants,

385

we don't need to get it ourselves.

386

They sent it to us early on already and only the best.

387

Then you go clean the backyard. It needs to be very clean.

388

What was your name again? Don't go wandering everywhere.

389

I won't let anyone be flattered by you in the palace.

390

Move.

391

Yes.

392

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

393

Sister Zhenzhu.

394

Stop acting so proper before me.

395

In the entire Yanxi Palace, only you are most mindful.

396

But Supervisor and Her Ladyship's relationship isn't something you can even compare.

397

You had better just do your work properly and stop thinking of what you don't have or have,

398

or you will court trouble for yourself.

399

I wouldn't dare.

400

[ Imperial Medicine Court ]

401

What's wrong, Physician Ye?

402

What's wrong? What's with the sighing?

403

The medicine boy wasn't careful. Insects got into a lot of the medicines in the storage.

404

The palace mistresses can't use these, but if I just throw away?

405

That is so wasteful too.

406

So many are still fine.

407

By the way, you came to get medicine, right?

408

Wait a bit. I'll go get it.

409

Don't forget.

410

This medicine must be brewed for an hour using black-boned chicken broth.

411

Only once the medicine is aromatic

412

can it can be a tonic to the body.

413

So fragrant.

414

Tell Consort Ling, what I said to her before still counts.

415

Tell her to think it through clearly.

416

Ye Tianshi.

417

Thank you.

418

Hey, Physician Ye.

419

You prescribe so many medicines usually.

420

You wouldn't have prescribed it wrong or mixed it up?

421

I wouldn't. The official ledger is an official ledger and the private ledger is a private ledger.

422

I am very clear. Not muddled.

423

Alright, I believe you.

424

As long as you can keep track.

425

Fine.

426

Physician Ye.

427

If you can trust me, I can manage the herb issue for you.

428

Really?

429

The medicinal herbs in the palace are all the premium stuff.

430

To let it go to waste is not good.

431

You can get someone to take them out.

432

Though it's been touched by insects, those medicine peddlers,

433

no matter how they pick through and even at a discount, it's still a premium price.

434

Take them out? That will work?

435

This is an old practice at the palace.

436

This is how the old medicines were done.

437

Even if the supervisors know, they bat an eye closed.

438

The money earned from selling can be used to fill a need at the center,

439

or get some new medicines in. It's all understandable.

440

If you trust me, I will take care of this matter.

441

Great. I'll trouble you with this then.

442

Is the medicine done brewing?

443

It's done.

444

Then you can leave. I'll take care of it.

445

Yes.

446

Your embroidery is too unconscious.

447

Yingluo, I've already embroidered for three days.

448

Look. Where is it wrong?

Ten days to paint a body of water. Five days to paint a rock.

450

Painting and calligraphy both require calm and diligence. Not to mention embroidery then.

451

Even if it's one thread lacking, it's no longer the real intention.

452

Mingyu. You must calm your heart and school yourself carefully

453

to make a passing lotus pouch.

454

How did you know I was making a lotus pouch?

455

Your face says it all already.

456

But Hailancha already has a lotus pouch you embroidered.

457

To embroider another is meaningless.

458

Then what idea do you have?

459

You can make a headwrap for his mother.

460

But I don't know what the old madam wants.

461

Who really cares?

462

This headwrap represents your heart.

463

You need to let Hailancha know your heart. Got that?

464

I kind of understand a bit.

465

You are so dumb.

466

Time for medicine.

467

There's poison in the medicine!

468

Your Ladyship, I saw it with my own eyes.

469

Yuan Chunwang added a medicine packet to your usual tonic.

470

Xiao Quanzi, you can't say such a thing wildly!

471

Your Highness, I swear to Heaven.

472

If I am wrong by half a word, let me be struck by lightning!

473

Your Highness!

474

Xiao Quanzi, I trust Yuan Chunwang.

475

Next time you speak wildly, I will send you to the Office of Careful Punishment.

476

Mingyu. Xiao Quanzi was offensive.

477

Punish him a month's salary.

478

Take him away, and have him memorize palace rules from start to finish once again.

479

- Your Ladyship.

- Go now.

480

You are too lenient on the punishment.

481

You were too careless.

482

I wanted him to know just how much you trust me

483

so he doesn't try to challenge me all the time.

484

Yingluo, you . . . you're sure you want to continue this medicine?

485

I'm sure. Why not?

486

This is the tonic that I need the most.

487

[ Fuca Clan's Ancestral Tablets ]

488

May you use tea, Young Madam.

489

You dare to bully me too, right?

490

To dismiss me with such cold tea?

491

Young Mistress, forgive me. I saw you were praying so I didn't want to disturb you.

492

I will go switch to a hot one now.

493

Clean up the cup now.

494

Yes.

495

Young Mistress!

496

Three thousand palace maids with rouged faces.

497

How many without tear stains when spring comes?

498

This is painful already?

499

Forgive me, Young Mistress!

500

Then you don't know what painful really is.

501

Young Mistress, I was mistaken!

502

Hurry and get up. If others hear you,

503

they might think I've bullied you.

504

Wait. Wipe away the tears.

505

Why do you insist?

506

Fuheng torments me.

507

I can't be the only one to suffer.

508

[ Letter to Hitara Clan ]

509

How is this with you?

510

Even though your grandfather is a ranked historian,

511

my Third Brother is His Majesty's confidant, and he's fighting battles for him on the front line.

512

Even if this letter is sent out, Hitara won't dare to meddle.

513

I urge you not to waste your energy.

514

Hitara won't meddle.

515

But someone will.

516

What do you mean?

517

In five days, it's the Silkworm Ceremony.

518

I am the duchess of first-ranked duke of the court.

519

How can I be absent?

520

What are you trying to do?

521

I won't spend my life in this little shrine. You just wait!

522

Interior Bureau's man dispatched to Kyakhta for fur purchase have returned (T/N trade with Russia)

523

having used the sum of eleven thousand five hundred taels,

524

returning around two hundred residual taels.

525

All the leather and fur goods have arrived in storage.

526

There are eighty fox fur, thirty white leopard fur.

527

Fifty mink furs.

528

These petty matters. Supervisor Wu, you can just see to it.

529

Then, I take my leave.

530

Wait.

531

Pick up some of the best furs and deliver to Shoukang and Chengqian Palaces.

532

Yes.

533

Is there sea dragon leather from this trip?

534

Replying to Your Majesty, yes, there is sea dragon leather.

535

But it can only be used for adornment.

536

Then which leather is most elegant?

537

If you want it on your court robe,

538

- then . . .

- I mean for a woman.

539

Interior Bureau brought back a cloud fox fur.

540

The silver shine on the fur is so pretty.

541

To make a hat or a headwrap would all be good.

542

Send it to Yanxi Palace.

543

Yes.

544

Greetings to Imperial Concubine Shu.

545

Supervisor Wu.

546

This must be Kyakhta fur.

547

That fox fur is so pretty.

548

Informing Imperial Concubine Shu, this is a gift His Majesty bestows to Yanxi Palace.

549

Other palaces will get some soon as well.

550

Getting the leftovers again.

551

Forget it. You go get busy.

552

Then, I take my leave.

553

I deserve to die.

554

Clumsy fool. Kneel here.

555

Kneel for four hours.

556

What is it? You regret it now?

557

Why should I regret it?

558

He's so devoted to you.

559

He acts like he's so proud on the exterior,

560

but he sends all the good stuff to you to make you happy.

561

But our extremely-smart Emperor...

562

is just blind before his feet.

563

He doesn't even know what all you did to him.
